New Starts

I will be attending my first practice back at the college. We are down a coach but we will manage. It will be kind of different in that I have spent some time work and coaching high school students. The edge I had before I left coaching college does not seem to be there. Either I have evolved as a coach and see that the most important part of coaching is not blaming when athletes don’t perform but looking at ones self. Its the athlete but rather the coach that has to adjust to the athlete can be successful. What is the coach putting into place that is allowing the athlete to be successful? That is always the question I ask myself rather than putting blame. God has given me a better understanding of this by having me coach at the high school level. I pray for God to guide me tomorrow during practice and with the staff to give me understanding of behaviors and working with others who don’t have the same belief system I have. I know my new perspective will not go over well with the head coach but we are going to be a working progress in that area.
